Teachers, parents and children all part of Chorus & Clouds creative space, participating in art, sensory activities and music with an emphasis on process. We aim to provide quality play experiences to meet the physical, emotional, social and intellectual needs of each child~at their individual level. Join us for a full semester and revel in how a dedicated space can comfort and become a feeling of home! This class is best suited for children ages 10 months to 2.5 years. We hold flexible structure in this class to begin introducing capacity of early learning skills such as : waiting, turn taking, sense of awareness and self, transitions all through music, art and sensory play. Children are not expected to know how to sit and draw long focus as this is outside of their developmental ability at such a young age. This is why we lean on and hold the idea that a learning studio is a chance to grow and develop these skills at each child' own pace.
Benefits of Music/Art Classes for Babies and Children
Art has an important place for children at young age. It allows children to not only explore their abilities but is an aid in developing new sets of skills.
Expressive arts allow opportunity for young children to understand their world and make sense of their experiences.
Interacting with paint and other creative mediums goes beyond the verbal language allowing each child to communicate what otherwise may not be expressed. Art offers new communication skills.
Fine motor skills are constantly being developed as we explore different practices. We may begin offering rich art and creative experiences to ages 10 months and up.
Weekly repetition in our studio will allow opportunity for social and emotional skills to be developed.
Within the context of early childhood we always consider the child to be our very own little scientist. From the day they are born, they work on problem-solving skills. By exploring ideas and with our modelling and adult participation, they are able to test possibilities, work through challenges and find solutions.
